My 2012 Wish List

I have cut back on my shopping habit, but that doesn't mean I have to cut down the length of my wish list!  I linked everything for you if you fancy. ;)

Chan Luu Wrap Bracelet -Golden Shadow

"Golden Shadow Mix Crystal Wrap Bracelet on Natural Brown Leather" $240
I've been waiting for the perfect one Chan Luu, and what's more me than a bracelet with Swarovski Crystals! :D

Chan Luu Wrap Bracelet -AB
"Crystal AB Wrap Bracelet on Natural Brown Leather" $240
I can't decide between the two bracelets!  What do you think? Crystal AB or the Golden Shadow Mix Crystal bracelet? :D

Custom Strassed (Swarovski) KitchenAid Mixer, $2000 
It's $1700 if you provide the mixer lol

Over 10,000 Swarovski Crystals were applied. I read that it took the woman behind "Bling Diva Designs" 22 hours of labor. It would be a very expensive DIY project for sure.  

Sniffany & Co Dog Bed, $120
I would never pay this much for a doggie bed, but it's just so cute!  My boys would totally destroy it.  But I think it's the cutest bed for a sweet, well behaved little girl dog. :)  Did you know they have Koko Chewnel dog toys too? haha

 

Sam Edelman 'Garisson' Sandal, Rose Gold $129.95
I first saw these sandals online and then went to Nordstrom to check them out.  They're really cute in person!  It looks very well made, and I also read really great reviews about them.  I have the 'Gigi' sandals which shares the same sole, and they are pretty darn comfy.  I have several pairs of Sam Edelman shoes and they all have been very true to size. I didn't take them home yesterday and that is why they're still on my wish list. :)  I like the Rose Gold color, but they also come in Silver.  I super love the style, very Greek Goddess like!  But I like wedge sandals because they are more flattering to wear in the warm months.  I'm trying to be more ladylike. ^_^ 

Kate Spade New York "Aubrey" Wrap Dress, $438
This is such a gorgeous silk wrap dress!  The print and the color is right up my alley.  I love purple. :)  Wrap dresses are very figure flattering as well! I would love to own a DVF wrap dress someday too.

Cellula Chandelier, $2,730

It's made with Swarovski Crystals!  I've wanted this for a few years now, and have probably blogged about it several times. lol  I swear the price keeps going up!  I've seen it in person more than once at Design Within Reach, and have seen it on sale once in the past.  I'm pretty sure I can make something like this for a fraction of the price with some help.  It looks so good!  I definitely envision this chandelier in my dream closet and bathroom. :)  A girl can dream, can't she?
What did you like more? The Swarovski KitchenAid Mixer or Swarovski Chandelier? :D  

Le Creuset Signature 10-Piece Cookware Set, $999.95-$1250
I have no idea what color to get yet, but I still have a lot of time before I make that decision. :)
I've been spending a lot more time in the kitchen now, and I really want to teach myself how to be a decent cook.  I look forward to splurging on some cookware someday.  I currently have a 3 year old standards set of pots and pans from Costco.  I like my set, but I accidentally burnt the bottom of one of my pots. : /  Never leave the stove unattended!  I learned the hard way.

House of Harlow 1960 Abalone Stations Necklace/Two Tone $150-$225
I have the black leather version and I love it!  It's one of my favorite statement necklaces.  I really want to see the Abalone version in person, but it's been really hard to find in stores. 

ghd Purple Peacock Spring/Summer 2012 
I already own the limited edition pink & white ghd flat iron from a few years ago. But the new Purple Peacock edition has black and purple which are my favorite colors! I want to trade it in! I recently made a custom "Peacock" themed DSK Everything Bracelet for a customer too.  Vannie and I also saw a Peacock run across the street in Vancouver, WA last month!  It's fate!! jk

I love the little shiny black dot details on the styler and the purple plate! I've never seen the plate guard.  Mine didn't come with that, but it did come in a similar box and travel case.  If you have been waiting to get a ghd, consider one from the Peacock Collection.  ghd has won the InStyle Best Hair Straightener Beauty Buy award for nine years running, after all. ;)

Minh asked me if it's the Cadillac of flat irons?  I said, it's from the UK so it's more like the Aston Martin of flat irons. I actually did a little research on this and ghd is heralded as the "Aston Martin of Haircare." ^_^ Go me!

"Make A Statement This Season with Peacock"
Available in three colourways – deep amethyst purple, rich emerald green and dazzling sapphire blue – each Peacock collection features a ghd Gold Classic styler with coloured plates and accents and a protective plate guard, along with a luxe storage bag and roll mat. Embellished with tonal Peacock embroidery and trimmed with sleek silver hardware, this heat-resistant satin roll bag protects your styler when not in use, while the heat mat provides a safe resting place during styling. This Peacock Purple limited edition features the ghd Gold Classic styler with purple plates and accents and a co-ordinating purple roll bag and heat mat.
 
I have been very into haircare these days, but I wish I was naturally good at styling my hair.  My only hair skills include curling or straightening. I have many styling tools as most of you already know, but I do treasure my ghd the most because it really is one of the best out in there market (and the investment was a pretty penny). They do come with a 2 year manufacturers guarantee.  Cheers for everyday high end haircare. ;D

You can find the ghd Peacock Collection at ghdhair.com, Sephora, and Nordstrom.
